Bianca Casady once more steps out of the familiar CocoRosie context to embark on a new musical-performance project, "Porno Thietor". Together with dancer Bino Sauitzvy, and musicians Michal Skoda, Takuya Nakamura, Doug Wieselman, and visual artist/pianist J.M.Ruellan, who form the C.i.A. she explores the mechanical-theatrics of performing music. This "show" is an introspective and intimate performance which often crosses over into territories of ritual, nightmare and fantasy. She has invited performance artists Lærke Grøntved to perform and sing backing vocals as well as scenographer Corentin JPM Leven doing light/video and stage design, both whom she recently created the theater work Mother Hunting which premiered at the National Theater in Oslo last March . Together with this artistic team she brings new songs in a multi-media performance to stages across Europe and later in North America. In early 2016 her record will be released via FANTASYmusic in Europe and Atlas Chair in North and South America. Today, Pitchfork revealed the track"Poor Deal", which is available starting tomorrow. Casady designs a mysterious and suggestive parallel world starting from an untuned piano, a dusty typewriter and a pile of broken umbrellas.

Her songs are performative gems from a strange music Wonderland, which can now be experienced in a concert performance. The show has been premiered on August 6th at Summer Festival Kampnagel in Hamburg, followed by Zurcher Theaterspektakel, David Byrne's London Meltdown Festival, and Berlin PopKultur amongst others.

A short video trailer for the live show, including the new track “Faded Like a Rose” can be seen HERE.
